I think you're way wrong. Congressmen like to be on the TV especially in election years.

If the Fed legality of drugs was the real issue, would a player be suspended for 50 games if he tested positive for cocaine? The answer is "no". I think it's a 15 day suspension, max, for the first offense.

I would not consider any of those things cheating. Maybe if you lie about it to the ump, and I'm not saying guys don't, but I would never voluntarily hand a call to the other team. And how would sign-stealing be construed as cheating?

When yo do something nobody has done before, it's pushing the envelope; a governing body then decides whetherr that action should be allowed. In a way, PEDs are no different than batting gloves in that at one point in time nobody used them, then someone did and (allegedly) got an advantage. At that point neither one was considered cheating (as long as the PEDs being used were not improperly used controlled substances under the law). The Lord High Poobahs of baseball lookad at batting gloves and said aye; they looked at PEDs and said nay. At that point, using PEDs became cheating.
